加压洞穴中的高压TPC：暗物质和中微子物理学中的机会
High-pressure TPCs in pressurized caverns: opportunities in dark matter and neutrino physics
摘要：
天然气和氢储存行业有创造巨大的加压地下空间的经验。其中最常见的是“溶解采矿”，一种在盐层中制造盐水填充洞穴的方法。与传统开采的地下空间不同，这些空间（a）建造和运营成本低廉，（b）自然用作压力容器，其尺寸在传统实验室中无法建造，以及（b）允许安全使用易燃和/或有毒材料。如果能够满足各种工程挑战，溶采洞穴将允许前所未有的大型高压气体TPC。衬砌岩石洞室（LRC）可以允许在更传统的空间中具有相当大尺寸的高压TPC。在本白皮书中，我们回顾了这些洞穴中可用的一些新物理机会，并提出了实现这些机会所需的研发计划。
英文摘要：
The natural gas and hydrogen storage industries have experience creating huge, pressurized underground spaces. The most common of these is "solution mining", a method for making brine-filled cavities in salt formations. Unlike conventionally-mined underground spaces, these spaces are (a) inexpensive to construct and operate, (b) naturally serve as pressure vessels, at size scales impossible to construct in a conventional lab, and (b) permit safe use of flammable and/or toxic materials. If various engineering challenges could be met, solution-mined caverns would allow unprecedentedly-large high pressure gas TPCs. Lined rock caverns (LRC) may permit high pressure TPCs of considerable size in more conventional spaces. In this whitepaper, we review some of the new physics opportunities available in these caverns and suggest an R&D program needed to realize them.
